Description
Summary:Abstract Aims To describe temporal trends in adoption and performance of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in Switzerland over a period of 5 years. Methods and results Between 2011 and 2015, a total of 3493 patients were consecutively included in the SwissTAVI Registry (NCT01368250) and analysed for the purpose of this study. The primary outcome measure was all-cause mortality at 1 year after TAVI. Over the 5-year period, a six-fold increase in the number of procedures was observed, whereas the baseline surgical risk estimated by the Society of Thoracic Surgeon (STS) score declined (from 6.8 ± 4.4% to 4.6 ± 3.6, P
